TEF Canada Speaking Practice

Practice both TEF Canada speaking sections out loud: Section A (obtenir des informations, 5 min) and Section B (convaincre un ami, 10 min). A live AI examiner answers you in character, then each answer gets feedback naming the criterion, with a CEFR level and CLB estimate per task.

A real conversation, then feedback on every answer

You speak, and the AI examiner listens and answers you in character, the way a real examiner would. After grading you get the full transcript, turn by turn, with a note beside each answer naming the criterion that moved.

Prompt

Tu as lu cette annonce : « Cours de cuisine québécoise au marché Jean‑Talon, samedi de 10 h à 13 h. Tourtière et tarte au sucre, repas partagé à la fin. Débutants bienvenus. 55 $, ingrédients compris. » Présente‑la à ton ami et essaie de le convaincre de s’inscrire et de venir avec toi. L’examinateur joue le rôle de cet ami, qui hésite.

  1. Examiner

    Salut ! Tu voulais me parler d’une annonce ? Vas‑y, je t’écoute.

  2. You · Turn 1

    Oui ! J’ai vu une annonce pour un cours de cuisine québécoise au marché Jean‑Talon, samedi prochain de 10 h à 13 h. On prépare une tourtière et une tarte au sucre, et on mange tout ensemble à la fin. Ça te dit de venir avec moi ?

  3. Examiner

    Un cours de cuisine ? Hmm… Ça coûte combien ? Je fais attention à mon budget ce mois‑ci.

  4. You · Turn 2

    C’est cinquante‑cinq dollars, mais tous les ingrédients sont compris, et on repart avec le repas. Au restaurant, tu paies presque le même prix juste pour manger.

  5. Examiner

    Oui, peut‑être… Mais honnêtement, je cuisine vraiment mal. Je vais avoir l’air ridicule devant tout le monde.

  6. You · Turn 3

    Ah oui, c’est vrai, tu m’as déjà dit ça. Bon, ce n’est pas grave, on peut faire autre chose samedi.

  7. Examiner

    Ah bon ? Tu abandonnes déjà ? Je pensais que tu voulais vraiment y aller.

  8. You · Turn 4

    Non, non, attends ! Le cours est pour les débutants, le chef explique tout. Si tu viendrais avec moi, on pourrait apprendre ensemble, et ça serait amusant.

  9. Examiner

    Bon… c’est vrai que ça peut être sympa. Mais le samedi matin, d’habitude, je dors !

  10. You · Turn 5

    Justement, c’est l’occasion de changer ! Je m’inscris ce soir sur le site et je réserve deux places. Je passe te chercher à neuf heures et demie, d’accord ?

Frequently asked questions

Is TEF Canada speaking practice free?

A free account lets you browse the practice page and see the format. Running a full speaking session (questions, audio, AI feedback where applicable) requires a paid plan.

How does the TEF Canada speaking practice work on this site?

Each session follows the exam order: one Section A task (obtenir des informations, 5 min), then one Section B task (convaincre un ami, 10 min), drawn at random from 100+ prompts. In both, the AI examiner answers you in character, the way a real examiner would: the person you call in Section A, a hesitant friend in Section B. After grading you get a CEFR level, a CLB estimate, the full transcript and feedback on every answer, naming the criterion. The free Demo Mock Exam shows the examiner in text; speaking with the examiner needs a paid plan.

What CLB level does TEF Canada speaking measure?

TEF Canada speaking scores map directly to CLB levels used by IRCC for immigration. Most candidates target CLB 7 (CEFR B2) for Express Entry. Your practice session results show the corresponding CLB band so you can track your progress toward your target.

Does a practice session count against my mock exam rotation?

No. Practice items are drawn from a separate pool that is disjoint from the mock-exam reserve. You can practice as much as you want without consuming any of the 10 fresh mock-exam attempts reserved per account.

How can I improve my TEF Canada speaking score?

Practice consistently, review every wrong answer using the per-question correction shown after submit, and re-take the practice to cover different random draws. Use the CLB band on each result to track progress toward your target (CLB 7 for Express Entry).

What TEF speaking topics should I practice?

Focus on the recurring TEF speaking topic families: daily services, housing, work, appointments, practical negotiations, and short opinion prompts where you need to defend a position clearly under time pressure.

“I got CLB 7! I just wanted to share my success. Thanks!”
